26. Achianji blue cat
On this day, Jia Mansion turned over because of Jia Lian's troubled people, but the Jinling royal family, thousands of miles away, was jubilant on this day.
Because a good hot spring mountain was found near Jinling at the boundary of Gusu, Mrs. Xue encouraged the Lin family to buy a piece of land there to build a hot spring village. Wang Ziteng had already agreed, and the Lin family was discussing with the Xue family's wife about repairing Zhuangzi.
Yishu, Yijing, Baochai and others were very happy when they learned about it, and they gathered together to discuss the imaginary hot spring Zhuangzi. Xifeng and Wang You are competing in the martial arts arena to test kung fu, this matter, as long as it doesn't rain, the sister and brother will do it every day, Xifeng is quite spiritual in swordsmanship, and the silver frost sword in her hand is made by Lin Wu specially looking for a craftsman for her, and the material is Lin Wu asked her father to find. Wang You's envoy is a Xuanming spear, which is black all over, and can poke a bloody hole in a person's body with a light yì.
In the evening of this day, after the two sisters and brothers compared, they saw that the Lin family and the Xue family were still discussing the hot spring Zhuangzi, and Baochai and the twin sisters were playing in the garden.
Xifeng has not been to the beach since he came to Jinling, so he is thinking about going over and taking a look. Wang You has always been that he has no opinion on where his sister goes, so he got into the carriage and went to the beach. Most of the people on the beach are children and their wives carrying bamboo baskets to pick up things, so the two blonde men strolling leisurely stand out.
Looking at their dress, they are definitely not ordinary people, and it is very likely that they are businessmen who are stranded in Jinling and want to do business, but they cannot leave Jinling because of a holy decree of the old emperor. If you are a businessman, you must know the language of the Great Qi Kingdom or have a translator.
Xifeng thought about it for a while and decided not to expose Wang You's situation that she knew other Chinese.
"You'er, do you dare to talk to those two blonde and blue-eyed people?" Xifeng teased.
Wang You nodded: "I can't win you in a fight, don't I dare to do this?" My sister is waiting here, watching me. Wang You walked over directly, and the two little guys hurriedly followed.
"Hello two, where did you come from?" Wang You walked in and asked directly, not afraid at all.
The two foreigners observed Wang You, dressed in brocade and jade, followed by two retinues, most likely nobles. The two of them only knew a little bit of the same language, so they waved their hands and called for an interpreter who was not far away.
The translator hurriedly ran over, Wang You exchanged a few words with the two, and Chong Xifeng made a smug grimace. Only then did the two foreigners find Xifeng not far away, seeing that it was a heroic young man who couldn't distinguish the gender, followed by two maids, they guessed that she was Wang You's sister, and they also said hello very gentlemanly.
Xifeng walked over with a smile, and after a few conversations, it was indeed a businessman, one was called Fei Luode, and the other was Charles, as long as it was the trade allowed by the Great Qi Kingdom, they would do it.
"What fruits, vegetables, or whole grains do you have in your country that I don't have?"
Federo and Charles hurriedly said that there were many Daqi that they did not have and their country had, and as long as Xifeng wanted it, they could ship a lot.
Xifeng smiled: "If I say I want seeds and saplings, will you sell them?" ”
This is a bit difficult, the trade with Daqi has always been a loss for them, if the seeds are also sold to Daqi, I am afraid that the business will be more difficult in the future. They want to buy tea trees, and Daqi won't sell them. Seeing that they were very reluctant, Xifeng smiled and said, "The two of you think about it slowly and say goodbye." He left with Wang You and went home directly.
Federo and Charles were dumbfounded, they couldn't imagine that there was anyone talking about business like this! If you don't agree with each other, you turn around and leave. Federo and Charles were very angry, this little girl was really arrogant. But two days later, when they learned that the arrogant little girl was the pearl of the prefect's mansion and the niece of Mrs. Xue, the wife of the imperial merchant Xue family, they hurriedly looked for a way to meet Xifeng and have a good talk.
Because of last year's emperor's decree of the ban on business, they have been stranded in Jinling for more than half a year, and other foreign businessmen have a way to secretly sell the goods to zero, and now they have earned silver and returned to China, but they came to Daqi for the first time and encountered the holy decree of the ban, and there is no way, most of the half a year has passed, and there are still small half of the goods piled up in their hands. After the prince played a few times, the emperor finally relented and allowed the foreign merchants who still had goods piled up in their hands to sell them and leave, but their capital could not be compared with the merchants next to them, and the quality was a little worse, so there were few customers. Finally, there are aristocratic girls who are interested in them, but they don't take the opportunity! This eldest girl of the Wang family is an excellent springboard for them to climb the prefect and the Xue family. After figuring it out, the two of them found someone to watch near the palace, and once Xifeng went out again, they would come forward to meet by chance and have a good conversation.
I waited for more than a month. Federo and Charles couldn't understand how Xifeng could endure a month without going out?
In fact, it's not that Xifeng doesn't want to go out, it's just that she's very busy. She didn't want to compress the time she spent practicing martial arts every day, and her aunt watched her practice calligraphy every day, so she had to package her as a delicate girl who looked gentle. And Xifeng knows the importance of housekeepers, she knows that she has no talent for housekeepers, if she doesn't study hard, she won't be able to do Wang Xifeng's kind of Cheng dù anyway, and naturally she won't put the matter of learning housekeepers in the back row, so she rarely goes out.
Later, after learning that two foreigners sent people to guard near the palace and were ready to block her, Xifeng deliberately did not go out for many days to make them anxious. She has asked Wang Ziteng, at least this year, the emperor will not lift the ban on foreign business. And she sent someone to inquire about the situation of Federo and Charles, so she was naturally more fearless.
Besides, after Xifeng consulted Wang Ziteng about trade and business bans, Wang Ziteng and Lin had already guessed that Xifeng had the idea of doing business with foreigners. The Lin family was already worried about Xifeng's future marriage, if Xifeng not only had good kung fu but also threw himself on the road to do business, he was afraid that it would be even more difficult to find a good husband. Therefore, after the husband and wife agreed, they directly called Xifeng for questioning, and determined that she really wanted to do business with foreigners, Wang Ziteng and the Lin family directly gave Xifeng a cloth village in Jinling City that had a decent income, including the steward Quan Sancheng and his associates who took care of the cloth village, as well as all the profits of the cloth village this year.
In one day, Xifeng's shop, manpower, and income were all available. Xifeng was flattered, and according to her uncle and aunt's posture of spoiling children, it was not surprising that Wang Xifeng developed such a temperament. Wang Ziteng, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xue's wife, the three brothers and sisters, are really good at being used to children. After the excuse was fruitless, she took it with peace of mind, and only waited for the future to earn silver or have seeds and saplings to directly share half of her aunt's son.
Besides, on this day, Xifeng finally went out to go to Buzhuang to see the situation, and also met with Quan Sancheng, but she couldn't take Buzhuang but didn't know what the steward looked like. Federo and Charles naturally will not miss this rare opportunity, in order to express their sincerity, they also brought a pair of Achianji blue cats in a cage brought to Xifeng, hoping that the docile and cute pair of blue cats can please Xifeng and create a good atmosphere for the next negotiations.
When Xifeng saw the pair of silver-blue shorthair cats lying lazily in the cage, he was stunned for a moment, this is a British short? Looking at the two foreigners again, Xifeng's heart suddenly accelerated, and she suddenly realized that she could use her knowledge of cats and dogs to open up a new business space.
The interpreter spoke at the right time: "These two masters specially brought the Aceanji blue cat from the motherland thousands of miles away to give it to you, I hope you like it, girl." ”
